a correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Price-Current, from Union county,
Ohio, writes a. follows ON this sub
ject:
.It occurs 70 me that some informa-
ton regarding feeding wheat 10 hogs
may not be out Of the way. Some Of
the experiments have been wonderful,
and beyond any expectations. One Of
our larger farmers bought hogs and
FED out about SO bushels Of ground
wheat that returned him in 50 days
feeding 81 63 per bushel; nothing be-
ing counted out Tor going 10 and IRON
tie mill, labor, etc. Calculations are
based on what hogs are worth now, IS
Der hundred pounds. Several Others
say they get 81 Is per bushsi at S. for
hogs. One man says he can't afford TO
feed wheat-but he did not have il wet
up and ground-dmply threw i whole
and dry. Many farmers are feeding
wheat new.
There can be no doubt but the wheat
region Of Eastern Washington IS des-
tined TO be a great pork-producing
country. With wheat yielding thirty,
forty, and even sixty bushels per acre,
raised at q cost Of no more than thirty
and often under twenty-ave cents per
bushei, with high freight and low prices
on wheat, it is inevitable that sooner
or later the farmers " over there" viii
see that 1t Is to their interest 10 pro-
dnce mors psrk and market less
wheat.
A Seattle butcher at the creamery
farm today mentioned that q drove Of
fat hogs was new on the way over the
mountains. This by no means is the
trst venture Of the kind, as several
droves have preceded these. II will
become more and more feasible each
year to drive As the roads improve and
people begin 70 realize they are not 30
far OF from the Puget Sound market
As they have been thinking.
There IS one thing about pork raising
that farmers may have overlooked. and
that is, they via have il in their power
to regulate the price Of freight on the
hog produces. for each porker has four
legs. and, even il fat. can "waddle -
many q mile day with light cost.

CAPTAIN j. w. CRAIG, master of
roadway and transportation for the
Charleston & Savannah railroad, and
president of the Roadmasters' Associa-
ton of America, recently expressed the
following sentiment: 1.-The time is not
far distant when Temperance will be a.
requirement of all grades of employees
in railway service. The demand of the
reform is growing greater each day"

TEMPERANCE.
THE BUBBLE AT THE BRIM.

Oh, see it gayly smiling
And lightly dancing up!
How winsome and beguiling
1t peeps across the cup!
Beware, or twill enchant YOU,
AS it becEons from the rim.
Come, kiss me, darling, can't you're
Laughs the bubble at the brim,
How tenderly it Pushes!
How modestly it flies!
1t apes maideu's bushes
When dreams oflove arise,
1t softly sings and glistens,
Like the shining seraphim--
But woe to him who listens
To the bubble at the brim
erhaps tits Beauty's finger
That fills the rosy glass;
How sweet it is to linger!
How hard it is TO pass!
Ills late to curse the revel
When the lights are burning dim;
You are bartercd to the devil
by the bubble at the brim
